Loans? even if it were possible I would sell my sould at those interest rates without any gaurntees at the end of the tunnel. Hmm... what else, ah, a rich relative. . . dont have one of those. What to do now, and then here comes the part that might me you flame me, but please don't. I am just frustrated and losing hope in this. How much would you do to help a prospective pilot get in? Would you be willing to donate money for flight training? I work at an airport on the ramp and always thought like asking pilots as well, but I didnt want to look like a complete loser so I will do this online first. I guesstimate that flight training will cost somewhere around 27,000, with private already done, which somehow I hope I can pay myself. Is there a way that I can recieve enough donation to go through the training? What are you willing to do to help someone who dreams? Thanks for hearing me out and please do not look down on me.

I had many friends in college who were in aviation. Many of which took out Stafford Loans from the government to pay for their education. The intrest is low and can be paid back over 15 or 20 years. As far as asking for "donations" you can do that too. They are called grants and scholarships. There are 1000's out there. I would be glad to help you in any way to find those. I had several when I was in school! Just let me know and I would be happy to point you inthe right direction!
